- every local man or woman In our
country. Genuine and hearty love of
true beauty ts one of the most effective
antidotes to evil thwt can be pre

an almost Invulnerable armor of de

of unspeakable comfort when the

Already the work of demolishing

THE TOWN S OPPOKTl'NlTT.
Py Charles Mulford Kinwon.
Ill Co-Herstiin.
It is not enough, if a man would
make the most of nn opportunity,
that he sees it and plan to turn it to
account. So, wfch a town, though
r-hese are first, essential s:eps, work
must always follow. The town's work
must lie tv-operative: and oryAiiliatlon
is only the preparation for It. It Is
like a man nxtklng up ihfei mind, form
ing a resolution, before, all his f.stjl
ties marsrtt.iltxi. he thrown Ills whole
self Into the tank. Oo-oporation. then,
is the next step for the town to con
sider. That the public-sjiirited organi
ser is sroinir to do most of the 'wk
of making the town ntore attractive,
beautiful wholesome, pleasanier to
live in, should be nobody's opinion
least of ail his own. But wither are
rhe committees ito do most of the
work. They are merely to see that. In
the co-operation of the residents, this
or that certain Phase, special sub
division, of the universal improvement
etlort :s faithfully, atten.ied to.
The point, therefore, to be empha
sised, promptly, is that, as neither
the organiser nor the committees,
so not evn does the soolotv, pur
rose tn n .ill the work. At
best, it stnHild be look-Hi upon up rrlh-
Ing more than a central, directing
bureau. Its members have no exclu
sive proprietorship, with the accom
panying sole responsibility. The town
does pot belong to the society, but
